@rensa_co Thanks! svgViewR can also render thru a local server (using #rstats package Rook), rather than save to a standalone html file. Useful for large meshes- tutorial on that to come. That'd b more flexible than shiny if you want to make ur own interface. Happy to share how to do that.

My awareness of R servers extends to shiny, plumber and that's about it—it hadn't occurred to me that there were other options for running a web app in R other than Shiny.

Can folks help me understand what the differences are in terms of functionality, performance, etc? My interest in this is more for a package that would serve a web interface locally (as an interactive plot viewer) than as a web app that would be accessed locally. I'm guessing that maybe svgViewR has a focus on performance for complex figures, and that it maybe doesn't need some of the reactivity stuff that shiny includes (or even any kind of server—it looks like maybe it just renders an SVG and open the file in the browser?).
